Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato 'address split'

Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato have reportedly spoken out about their recent split.

The Camp Rock co-stars did a recently-released joint photoshoot and interview with Teen Vogue while they were still dating, but reportedly announced their break-up less than 48 hours later.

The pair are reported to have then spoken separately to the magazine about the end of their relationship.

"It could have been better timing," said Jonas. "But there's never really a good time for something like that. I really care about her.

"In this business. It's really hard to find people who are going to be there for the rest of your life. When I met Demi, I knew right away that our friendship was really strong. I don't want to lose that ever."

Lovato added: "We haven't spent any time together since everything because that would be awkward, but I'm sure things will go totally back to normal once we're on tour together. It's just that at this point I'd rather be hanging out with my girlfriends than seeing my ex."

The singer is scheduled to open for the Jonas Brothers at dates across the US this summer.
